NEARLY one thousand Scandina-
Wan residents Of Minnesota and
Dakota are now on their way to
rether to Sweden and Norway, there
to enjoy the Christmas festivities
Of the fatherland. Then they will
return 10 their new homes in the

ours must be growing smaller, when
our pioneer farmers from other
lands may 80 back annually over
thousands Of miles Of land aud sea
to scenes Of festiyity At their birth
place.

THE ADAMS EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Cook Makes Confession, duplicating Foth-
eringham, the Messenger, Now in Jail.

LEAvENwoRTH, Kas., Dec. 3O.-Mrs. Wit
rock, the mother of "Jim Cummings" was
seen at her residence last night. She was
very unwilling to say anything about the ar
public should know the real cause of the
robbery. She said that she wondered from
the first what prompted the robbery, and the
first question she asked her son after he had
been brought to bis home by the detectives
was: "Why did you take the money! She
says he answered that he was greatly worried
because the time was growing short when
the mortgage on her home, to secure 81, 200
that she had borrowed and loaned to him,
would become due, and he was not making
money enough out of his business to pay
her. So, instead of allowing the homestead
to go to sale, be made up his mind to make
a desperate effort to save it, and finally de-
cided upon the plan of robbing the express
car.
Oscar Cook made a confession yesterday,
in which he stated that Fotheringham, the
express messenger, who is now in Jail,
charged with completely in the robbery,
knew all about the plan to rob his car and
was willing victim to the attack OF the
robber. 1t is said that he was promised So,
600 of the amount stolen as his share Of the
booty, and that sum was part Of the money
which Fred Witrock sent to his mother for
safe-keeping.
A special from Kansas City states that it
was the intention OF the cOnspiratOrs to rob
the ca on the night of October %, and that
the FIRST "Jim Cummings letter was written
before that time and da led on that day. On
thGt night, however, there was not enough
money in the car to pay the robbers for their
trouble and their plan was not finally carried
out until the 25tb. Should these statements
be borne out by the facts in the case, FOth-
eringham will fOubtles accompany his fe-
low-conspirators to the penitentiary.

Haunted by His victim.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 3l.-A man named
Edmund Kenr was arrested here to-day for
drunkenness. During the afternoon he con-
fessed to a detective that he is the murderer
of Amelia Olsen, whose body was found on
the prairie N the outskirts of Chicago
January 16, 1884. He said he had accom-
panied the girl to a dance, and that on the
way home his passion had overturned his
reason and he assaulted and outraged the
girl and finally cut her throat. He said his
father is now serving a ten-years sentence
for mansaughter in California, which state
ment was corroborated by an examination OF
the prison records of that State. Kenn
stated that he was haunted by his victim,
and that he did not care whether or not he
was hanged for the murder. To-day Kenn,
in sober mind, repudiates the confession,
but il is stated that he told the story of the
murder to South Side physician Wednes-
day when be was not under the influence of
drink. The Chief of Police of Chicago has
been notified.

Brown Was Sober,

TVoIL. \. Y, Jan. THE captain Of the
schooner Mary Ann, from Down East was the
first person who saw the ses.serpent near Kingston
Point last summer 1t has remained, however,
for a man named Brown, who lives out back OF
Saugerties, to see the serpent in the Hudson in
winter. Brown, like everybody else who hiss
seen the serpent, was perfectly sober. he said
that at the commencement of the heavy snow
storm Thursday morning he walked cOnstdera-
bic distance up the Hudson for the purpose of set
ting his nets in the ice. Brown found great
crack in the ice. He kept tramp
ing on. Suddenly, according to Brown,
ne felt sensation as though the ice was being
lifted up beneath him. He says he saw the ice
roll and then split in two, making similar crack
to the one he had jumped oveTsa short distance to
the SouthWard. Brown said that before the waV-
ing OF the ice had ceased a Strengthening ami
NAL with two eyes nearly as big as saucers, and OF
the color of terra Gotta, glared az him hercely.
The head of the beast remained above the ice Tor
several seconds. Brown thinks IL is the ses-ser
pent that was seen of Kingston Point and else
where along shore last summer. Brown IS the
first man on record in these parts who has seen
the serpent in December.

A Mans Hand as a Target.

LAFAYETTE, Dec. 31.--A case of modern
William Tellism came to light here today
by doctor filing claim of SIS for surgical
services in removing bullet from the head
of man named Smith. Alex. Hart had
target rifle, which he was using, and dis.
pute arose as to his ability to shoot. Hart
was told that he could not hit the others
hand at twenty PAGES distant. Hart thought
that he could, stepped off the distance took
aim and fired. He lost his bet because he
didn't hit the hand, but struck the target"
in the head, the ball lodging therein, requir-
ing a surgeon to remove it. The doctor de-
manded So for his services, and this the
victim thought Hart ought to pay. H
didn't care for the gunshot injury, but
to be shot and pay the doctor, too, was lit
tie too much. The matter was adjusted by
Hart settling with the doctor, but it will be
some time before he shoots al mans hand
again.

are engraved the words, "John A. Logan,

AT THE CEMETERY.
At 40 o'clock the large bell at the ceme-
terry began to toll, and the head of the pro-
cession passed slowly through the entrance,
TO the accompaniment OF funeral air from
the artillery band. General Sheridan, ac-
companied by an orderly, came in advance
and took up a position at the tomb. where be
was Joined by General Ordway and staff. The
procession wound slowly along benesth the
dark evergreen arches, and the artillery
formed line in front of the tomb until the
first OF the carriages came up. They then
formed fours and, followed by the military
contingent, took up their position in the
road to the north OF the tomb. The pail
bearers alighted and took their places on the
foot-walk while the hearse slowly turned
the road at tine foot of the hill. The marine
band, posted opposite TO the tomb, played
Nearer, My God, to Thee" and with little
delay the casket was removed and placed on
a bier at the entrance TO the vault. By this
time the occupants of the carriages had
aliehted, and remained standing on the foot
walk. The carriage containing the immedi-
ate members of the dead Senator's family
drove up and took position directly in front
but Mrs. Logan remained in the carriage
throughout the ceremony.
THE BURIAL SERVICE
Standing near the head of the basket, De-
partment Chaplain Swallow began to read
the burial service or the G. A. r. The scene
was very impressive. Surrounding the cssket
stood members of the Cabinet, Senators aud
Representatives, army officers of high rank
and grsy-haired veterans of the war, with
uncovered heads, while in a low but dis
tinct Voice the chaplain read the simple but
solemn service When he had finished Rev.
DR. Newman stepped forward, and in an i'm
pressive manner delivered the Lords Prayer
and concluded with the benediction. The
band began 10 play softly as the pall-bearers
stepped forward and bore the casket into the
vault. Sounds of lamentations were heard
from the mourners' carriages. A trumpeter
standing at the entrance of the tomb raised
the instrument TO his lips and broke the dead
silence with Taps lights OUT. The casket
was then uncovered, and some of the dead
Senator's relatives and friends passed through
the entrance and took a last look at his
features. After a few moments the
cover was replaced and the case in
closing the casket fastened with thumb.
screws. Meanwhile many military orgaui-
cations had taken up their bomeward march,
the carriages following rapidly, with the ex-
ception of that occupied by Mrs. Logan and
her son, which remained long enough to en-
able her to give some directions to Deputy
Sergeant-at-Arms Christie regarding the dis
position of some of the flowers The re-
mainder of the floral decorations were then
conveyed to the tomb, completely covering
the casket, the key grated in the iron door,
and the illustrieus dead was left in solitude.

speo,,l N the sent,ne


WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The very atmosphere of
Washington seems TO press with such fOTce on the
purses OF the haOitues OF the capital that it makes
pOcket-b0oks sweat freely. Formerly the tender
young pud about TO become a debutante was
uShered into the social world by simple tea: but
IL these hlgh-fying days of Democratic simplicity
the big, blaring. ostentatiOus ball IS the proper
csper. Every girl Who belongs really 10 society,
and makes q formal debut, has a ball given by her
parents. Both of the British Minister'S elder
daughters were presented in that way, and in
Jsnuary his youngest daughter viii hsve her
cOming.Out evening party. AS for the afternoon
tea, pure and simple, thas been dead these two
years in Washington. ana people no longer write
the suggestive Tea ia the corner of their III
vitation earGs. II is supposed tdRt this little
word frightened the men away. Now iJ is true
there are afternoon receptions, but they are per
fectly gorgeous. and the e1mp'e entertainment
which used 10 be provided is replaced by a col
lstiOn at which everything the list OF gaStrOn-
Omy, including terrapin aud champagne is
served. IL is a question, though, among people
here whether the afternoon tea in its ORIGINAL
form was not preferable to the present scale of
costly elegance

He Consented TO Marry Her.

ROCHESTER, Dec. 31.-A sensation was ere
ated here by the arrest OF John Young,
farr er, on warrant charging him with
hav ng betrayed Miss Mona Whittenberger.
Miss Whittenberger is a pretty and intelli-
gent young lady, the daughter OF promi-
nent and wealthy citizen. The criminal pro-
ceedings were stopped by Young, who con-
sented to marry the girl, and the ceremony
was performed forthwith.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Judge Holman viii not

is in charge Of the legislative, executive aud ju-
oiCial appropriation BILL aud also OF the Indian
Commission bill. Both these bills must be re-
ported within ten days after Congress re-
assemblies, and Judge HOlmans presence is
imperatively required. As to the Legislature.
Judge Holman said to the Sentinel TO night
will control the Legislature and eject Democrat
to succeed Harrison. 1t seems almost i'm possible,
judging from the condition of things as they ap-
pear at present here, that we should not have
at least fairly. one majority, perhaps two.
Judging from all that has come to the capital,
that seems TO be the inevitable result. All the
Democrats here entertain no doubt of our ability
to elect a Senator. 1t is of the highest impor-
lance that every Democratic member OF the
House shall be promptly on hand at the very
moment of the organization"

Arthur Palmer, one of the two victims who
lost their lives IN the fire which destroyed

the ruins this morning. The body had been
so badly burned that the only means of
recognizing it was by the clothes. The body
of the clerk, the other VICTIM was recovered
day or two after the fire.

PninIess REGULATION.

1t no longer question OF doubt-al-
though the contrary was once believed
that medicine which produces violent effects
are unsuited to other than desperate emer-
gencies. In other words, that super-potent
remedies are calculated to weaken and in
jure the system rather than reform Its ir-
regularities. Among medicines of debilitat-
ing effect are cath0rtlcs and cholagogues,
which copiously and abruptly evacuate the
bowels. Because 1t does not do this, Hos.
letters Stomach Bitters is preferable to the
drenching class Of purgatives. Painless In
its effects, 1t is sufficiently active to remedy
chronic constipation. 1t relieves by invigo-
rating the intestines, and enables, not
forces, them to perform the duty imposed
upon them by nature. Promoting the Sc.
cretion Of bile in normal quantities by its
healthfully stimulating effect upon the
liver, 1t is eminently conducive to digestion,
and contributes In no small degree to keep
the bowels regular.
